Para muchas personas, esta temporada trae una mezcla de conexión, duelo, estrés, esperanza y viejas dinámicas familiares. Si notas emociones intensas o sientes presión por “estar bien”, no hay nada malo en ti.

Tu experiencia tiene sentido.

Creo que la sanación ocurre cuando hay espacio para la honestidad, la compasión y el apoyo, especialmente durante las fiestas.

Te deseo una temporada que honre tu experiencia real y un nuevo año basado en el cuidado, la claridad y el crecimiento.

- Eduardo 🎄

For many people, this season brings a mix of connection, grief, stress, hope, and old family dynamics. If you notice intense emotions or feel pressure to “be okay,” there’s nothing wrong with you.

Your experience makes sense.

I believe healing happens when there is room for honesty, compassion, and support, especially during the holidays.

I wish you a season that honors your real experience and a new year based on care, clarity, and growth.

Premarital counseling isn’t about fixing problems.

It’s about starting marriage with clarity, confidence, and intention.

No necesitas perfección para sanar; solo un espacio emocional “suficientemente bueno”.

Winnicott lo llamó un entorno de sostén “lo suficientemente bueno”: un entorno donde tus emociones pueden ser recibidas con seguridad en espacio seguro.

En la terapia individual, ese espacio te ayuda a comprender tus patrones y a reconectar con las partes de ti que has tenido que ocultar.

En la terapia de pareja, ayuda a que las personas pasen del conflicto a la conexión, haciendo que las emociones se sientan más seguras para compartir.

Si estás listo para un espacio donde el crecimiento sea posible, estoy aquí para acompañarte.

You don’t need perfection to heal - just a “good enough” emotional space.

Winnicott called it a holding environment: a place where your feelings can be met with safety instead of judgment.

In individual therapy, that space helps you understand your patterns and reconnect with the parts of yourself you’ve had to hide.

In couples therapy, it helps partners move from conflict to connection by making emotions feel safer to share.

If you’re ready for a space where growth becomes possible, I’m here to support you.

De pequeños oímos “no llores”.
Ahora nuestras relaciones pagan el precio.

Nos enseñaron a guardar silencio sobre nuestros sentimientos... Y está dañando nuestras relaciones.

¡Mira esto para ver por qué abrirse es una verdadera fortaleza!

¡Comparte si te resulta útil esto o si conoces a alguien que pueda beneficiarse de la terapia!

Growing up we heard “no llores.”
Now our relationships pay the price.

We were taught to stay quiet about our feelings… and it’s hurting our relationships.

Watch this to see why opening up is real strength!

Quizá lo que más anhelamos y buscamos con ansias es también precisamente lo que nos asusta hasta lo más profundo. 💜

Many times, couples come into my office arguing about laundry, bills, or dishes, but when we step back from these interactions, they realize there is more underlying these conflicts. The real issue is often something deeper, and they are fighting for something beyond the surface problems.

Muchas veces, las parejas entran en mi despacho discutiendo sobre la colada, las facturas o los platos, pero cuando nos alejamos de estas interacciones, se dan cuenta de que hay algo más detrás de estos conflictos. El verdadero problema suele ser algo más profundo, y están luchando por algo más allá de los problemas superficiales.

Repost:

I keep looking at this picture of Michael Woolf, a minister in Illinois who was arrested today for exercising his freedom of speech outside the Broadview ICE facility... the same place that has turned away priests offering Communion to detainees and told protesting ministers that prayer is not allowed in front of the facility.

I keep looking at this picture and thinking it’s a terrible, worrying sign, but also remembering that it’s part of the cycle our nation keeps falling into.

I keep looking at this picture and remembering that Martin Luther King, Jr., was arrested 29 times. Not for loitering, not for going 30 in a 25, not even for holding a prayer vigil. He was arrested for repeatedly saying that Black Americans should be treated like human beings with equal rights.

I keep looking at this picture and remembering Dorothy Day and 32 other women who were arrested and beaten after a peaceful protest at the White House. Dorothy was slammed down into the arm of an iron bench. Dora Lewis had her head smashed into an iron bed until she lost consciousness. Alice Cosu had a heart attack, and the guards didn’t get medical help until the next morning. Why were they arrested? Because they said women should be treated with dignity and equality.

I keep looking at this picture, and I remember the Reverend Daniel Worth, who was arrested for preaching that slavery was wrong—it was, in fact, one of the greatest sins.

Men and women throughout our history, ministers and laypeople alike, have been arrested for this message—repeated over and over, whether about Black Americans, women, or immigrants:

These are people made in the image of God and deserving of respect. They should be treated with dignity. They should not be subjected to injustice.

I look at this picture and feel a sorrow deep in my bones.

I look at this picture and am reminded how much work we still have ahead of us.
